VTech Switch And Go Dinos Captured At 2012 New York Toy Fair

We got the chance to check out VTech’s new Switch & Go Dinos! The new transformer-esque Triassic friends change from a dinosaur to a vehicle with just a couple quick moves! The LED screen provides vehicle sound effects and of course, keeping with the v-tech tradition, integrates an educational element with dinosaur facts!

Mighty dinosaur roars are resounding from the VTech booth (www.vtechkids.com) at this year’s American International Toy Fair in New York City, with the debut of the new Switch & Go Dinos. These transforming toys combine two of boys’ favorite play patterns, uniquely morphing back and forth from dinosaur to vehicle to provide an interactive 2-in-1 play experience for children ages 3-8.

“This year’s Toy Fair is particularly exciting for VTech as we are branching out to bring the innovation we are known for beyond the learning toy aisle,” said Tom McClure, Director of Marketing for VTech Electronics North America. “VTech strives to serve as a trusted brand for moms, and Switch & Go Dinos, just like our other toys, is consistent with our mission to let kids have fun while enriching their development in new ways.”

In as few as four simple steps, Switch & Go Dinos morph between dinosaur and vehicle, transforming before kids’ eyes with little to no frustration. Each toy comes equipped with an LCD screen for customized animation, dinosaur and vehicle sound effects and educational dinosaur facts. These features combine to bring each Switch & Go Dino to life, offering kids a personalized, immersive and enriching play experience. Kids can further personalize the toy by selecting animated dinosaur eyes when in dinosaur form and driver faces when in vehicle form.

The Switch & Go Dinos line features seven unique and collectable dinosaur/vehicle toys beginning at $15.99, including Brok the Brachiosaurus, Span the Spinosaurus, Attila the Ankylosaurus, Sliver the T-Rex, T-Don the Pteranodon, Tonn the Stegosaurus and Horns the Triceratops.
